Wisher – The must-have app this Christmas!

Ever wished you could ask your family and friends what they want for their birthday or Christmas? Ever wished somebody had asked you what you wanted rather than receiving an unwanted gift? Ever been asked what you wanted but you felt too cheeky to reply?

If you said “YES” to any of the above then Wisher app is for YOU.

What is “Wisher app” ?

Wisher, the must-have app for Christmas has just launched and it is ideal for parents who get asked what their child wants for Christmas (or worse still gets given unwanted/duplicate/unsuitable presents)…

In a nutshell:

It turns your mobile into your own personal gift guide, allowing you to capture, store and share everything your child would love in one place, all year round. It’s simple: you spot their perfect gift on a shelf or online, then either scan its barcode or snap it. Wisher will then store it for you, and you can share your list with your child’s friends and family or they can access it all year round. Once someone’s bought them a gift and ticked it off, others will see that they shouldn’t buy it, but you won’t see that it’s been bought, or by whom.

Say goodbye to unwanted gifts and rediscover the excitement of Christmas lists and making loved ones’ wishes come true.

New free Wisher app takes the guessing out of giving:

Rediscover the childlike excitement of making a Christmas list – snap, scan, upload or browse for the things you wish for, whatever, whenever or wherever it is.

No more unwanted gifts – see what each of your friends will really love.

No more traipsing round the shops – wishes are geotagged, so Wisher lets you know when your friends’ wishes are nearby.

Enjoy the magic of a Christmas surprise – you’ll never see what has been bought for you or by whom, but your friends will see your wish has been granted, so you still get the excitement of a real surprise but with no more duplicated presents.

Free, fun, and simple app available on iOS and Android.

Exciting new app to feature in your Christmas app/gifting guides.

The strange-smelling body lotion that brings you out in a rash. The three-sizes-too-small ‘fun’ Christmas jumper. The copy of Girl on the train, which, to be fair, you loved – when you were given it last year. Twice.

Yes, the season of goodwill is upon us – and with it, the avalanche of inevitable unwanted gifts. Of course all these gifts were given with the best intentions, but recent research found that we spend a whopping £2.4billion on presents that go straight back to the shop, onto auction sites, to charities or just the back of a cupboard.

But now there’s an easy way to make sure family and friends know just what to get you this Christmas, and a way you can enjoy the magic of giving someone something they really love – the Wisher app.

Wisher turns your mobile into your own personal gift guide, allowing you to capture, store and share everything you’d love in one place, all year round. It’s simple: you spot your perfect gift on a shelf or online, then either scan its barcode or snap it. Wisher will then store it for you, and you can share your list with your friends and family or they can access it all year round.

And, because Wisher is a social gifting platform, when you want to buy a fellow Wisher something, you’ll see what they want, too. So they’ll also get the right gift every time – saving you time and money.

(Oh, and don’t worry – we haven’t forgotten that everyone loves a surprise! Once someone’s bought you a gift and ticked it off, others will see that they shouldn’t buy it for you, but you won’t see that it’s been bought, or by whom.)

Quote

Maz Cohen, founder of Wisher, says: “I’m lucky enough to have friends and family all over the world but I never knew what to buy them! Likewise, I’d see an amazing piece of jewellery in a cool little shop, or a really interesting book online, and I’d just end up forgetting about things because I didn’t have a single place to store them. That’s what inspired me to start Wisher. We’re all about taking the stress out of giving and making it a wonderful, fun thing to do again.”
